Quote: Ron, I understand what you are saying but I will tell you something you may not know. Everyone calls my line Reese (Mohawk) but the 2 people that I got my birds from got them from Bob well before the St Romains got their birds from Bob. So mine are further removed than yours. I doesn't really matter but just a little history.

Thank you for the compliment.

Matt, do you know where in La the St Romaine's are/were from? Also didn't they, the St Romaine's, cross the birds they got from Bob with another line at some point?

No big deal to me just wondering on both.

Wilford Kittle.

Thank You!

Are the Straight Combed Reds he has from the same person?

 

[Fred's Hens]

Wilford Kittle.

That would seem correct.

Chris, I believe they lived in the Ventress/New Roads area which is North West of Baton Rouge.
Yes, at some point they crossed Rademacher Rose Combs into their birds but I think that was late in the game and I don't know if what Ricky got were from the pure birds or the crosses but I would bet they were from the pures.
